IN BRIEF/ SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
Application to Crown Lands by landowner to close crown sections of Bora Link
Road. This would land-lock properties.
BACKGROUND
Bora Link Road is under Council’s Road Asset Register as a gazetted road. It
has come to Council’s attention that two sections of the road are classified as
Crown Road. This road services four (4) landowners and is their only access.
ISSUES AND COMMENT:
Bora Link Road
Bora Link Road is in the locality of Dinoga and is 4.5km long. It services four
(4) properties, the last being at the end of the road. This road is included in
Council’s Road Classification and the road name “Bora Link Road” was
gazetted on 28 November 2011.
An application to Crown Lands Department, from the owner of a neighbouring
property, to close all Crown Roads within his property, was received by
Council.
After inspection of the affected Crown Roads covered in the application, it was
revealed that two sections of Bora Link Road are classified as Crown Road in
the application for closure.
Council is requesting that the Crown Road sections of Bora Link Road be
transferred to Council and the road be maintained as part of Council’s Road
Register (Attachment 1).
Bora Link Road in its entirety is currently in Council’s Road Asset Register.
There would be no impact to Council’s Depreciation, Liabilities or Asset
holdings if Council took ownership of the Crown sections of Bora Link Road.
This is page number 128 of the minutes of the Ordinary Meeting held on Thursday 25
February 2016
Chairman ……………………………………………………………………………………
Ordinary Meeting - 25 February 2016
Gwydir Shire
Council
Not keeping the Crown sections of Bora Link Road will result in three (3)
properties being landlocked with no access for the owners.
CONCLUSION:
Bora Link Road has sections that are classified as Crown road. An
application the neighbouring property owner to Crown Lands to close all
crown roads on his property has resulted in these sections being included in
the application to Council.
Transferring the land to Council control will ensure all landowners will have
access to their property.
There will be no impact to Council’s Asset Holdings or Depreciation and
Liabilities as the Bora Link Road, in its entirety, is already in Council’s Asset
Register (Attachment 2).
CONSULTATION:
Consultation has been conducted with the GIS Officer of Gwydir Shire Council
and Crown Lands Representative.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council transfer Crown Road Reserve on the sections of
Bora Link Road to Council’s control and that Bora Link Road
remain in the Gwydir Road Register.
FURTHER that this report be accepted.

IN BRIEF/ SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
To seek a resolution determining the sale price for the ‘Plevna Road’ road
Reserve.
BACKGROUND:
Council has previously resolved to formally close Plevna Road and make the
road Reserve available to PF and K Butler for purchase. An independent
valuation has been undertaken, with the applicant subsequently registering
objections to the sum presented.
ISSUES AND COMMENT:
The ‘Plevna Road’ road Reserve is approximately 7.8 hectares in area and
40m in width, situated in the locality of North Star. The formed road occupies
7m of the total width and 1.3 hectares of the total area.
Council staff recently engaged Taylor Byrne Valuers, Inverell to undertake a
valuation (Attachment 1) of the reserve at undeveloped market value. This
valuation was a total of $40,000 based on an average of $5,000 per hectare.
The prospective purchasers have advised they believe Taylor Byrne’s
valuation to be “very unrealistically inflated” for the following reasons:
 It does not reflect the land use (the planned use upon closure is not
primary production, but paddock access)
 Plevna Road was improved from an unused black soil road to an all
weather gravel road at the cost of the Butlers
 The most recent valuation of the Butler’s land reflects an average value
of approximately $1,300 per acre ($3,212 per hectare)
 The valuation used arable farming land as a benchmark
This is page number 132 of the minutes of the Ordinary Meeting held on Thursday 25
February 2016
Chairman ……………………………………………………………………………………
Ordinary Meeting - 25 February 2016
Gwydir Shire
Council
The Valuer General’s 2015 assessment of land owned by the Butlers under
valuation 3697140 (Attachment 2) gives a value of $3,307.52 per hectare.
This is an average figure from a total of 2,104 hectares and includes arable
and non-arable land.
As resolved previously by Council, upon closure of the road the purchasers
would be required to grant a right of carriageway benefiting Lot 32, DP
821268, immediately north of the reserve. This proposed right of carriageway
is the only encumbrance on the future use of the land. The formed road
occupies less than 25% of the reserve, with aerial imagery showing the
residual largely cultivated (Attachment 3).
The current formed road was constructed as part of Council’s self-help
program, with the prospective purchasers contributing resources towards its
upgrade.
CONCLUSION:
Due to the right of carriageway requirement upon closure, it is unlikely that the
current formed road will be removed or used for any purpose other than
property access and movement of farm machinery. As such, its value to the
prospective purchaser is extremely limited. The residual land in the Reserve
however, has been demonstrated to be arable, and as such can be valued
accordingly.
CONSULTATION:
Feedback from PF and K Butler was sought following receipt of the valuation
from Taylor Byrne. Their comments are noted in this report.
FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC and RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS (including
asset management)
The current written down value of Plevna Road is $31,266.48.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION
THAT the area of the Plevna Road reserve occupied by the formed
road be excluded from the road reserve’s valuation
FURTHER that $3,307 per hectare is adopted as the value of all
residual land within the reserve
FURTHER that this report be accepted.
